INTRODUCTION 

The shorthand authorities of the world agree that all shorthand writ¬ 
ing is and must be abbreviated writing. Systems of shorthand differ 
from one another largely in the methods of abbreviation employed by the 
different authors. The best system of shorthand, other elements being 
equal, is the one employing the best method of abbreviation. If, there¬ 
fore, a system has been discovered that employs the best possible method 
of abbreviation, and such system is based upon an alphabet and funda¬ 
mental principles applied thereto which the wisdom and experience of the 
entire shorthand writing world agree is the best possible alphabet, the 
logical conclusion is that such system is the completed solution of the 
entire shorthand writing problem. 

The method of abbreviation recently discovered and employed for 
the first time in Scientific Shorthand is of universal application. It is as 
effective for the abbreviation of other languages as for the English lan¬ 
guage. IT GIVES THE GREATEST POSSIBLE DEGREE OF 
LEGIBILITY WITH EQUAL BREVITY, FOR EVERY WORD 
OF LANGUAGE. Just one simple, easily understood and applied rule 
governs the proper abbreviation of every word. No other method even 
approximates the scientific in simplicity, legibility and the rapidity of its 
application. Philologists agree that there is no other possible method 
of shorthand writing abbreviation, completely governed by a single rule, 
or which furnishes equal legibility with equal brevity. 

The discovery of the scientific method affords conclusive proof that 
the shorthand writing experts are right, and always have been right, in 
stating that the geometric alphabet discovered by Isaac Pitman, or some 
modification thereof, is the most perfect possible alphabet for shorthand 
writing; because the scientific method of abbreviation can not be em¬ 
ployed at all with any alphabet other than a geometric one. 

The discovery of the geometric alphabet was the first great discovery 
connected with the possible complete solution of the centuries-old short¬ 
hand writing problem. 

The discovery of the scientific or “Consonant Expression and Vowel 
Location” method of abbreviation was the second great discovery re¬ 
quired to place shorthand writing upon a strictly scientific l)asis, and 
bring its mastery and practical application within the natural ability and 
educational range of people in generg,!. 

Scientific Shorthand being the only system that applies the scientific 
method of abbreviation to the geometric alphabet, and all rights to such

basic discovery and its application being protected by copyright; and the 
system expressing the evolvement of rapid and accurate writing to the 
utmost possible degree of perfection, any world-wide standardization of 
shorthand writing must be based upon Scientific Shorthand. 

During the past twelve years an attempt has been made to stand¬ 
ardize shorthand writing for the English language. The work has been 
continuously in charge of a committee of leading experts, who have been 
aided and advised by a number of the most learned men of the profes¬ 
sion. A prodigious labor has been performed. Much valuable informa¬ 
tion has been compiled, conclusions reached and given expression. In 
1921 a small volume was published setting forth the findings of the com¬ 
mittee. Those findings, in substance, are that the standardization of short¬ 
hand writing must be based upon a geometric alphabet; that “position” 
must be employed as an essential aid to both speed and legibility; that 
vowel sounds must be expressed by detached characters; that initial long 
vowel and diphthong sounds require exact written expressions, generally; 
that the most frequently heard consonant sounds should be erpressed by 
the most facile, most fluently joined, most rapidly written characters; 
that a number of the most frequently heard consonant sounds must have 
some secondary form of expression; that the vowel sounds, in rapid ver¬ 
batim reporting, must be denied written expression, in order that even 
the most skillful writers may keep pace with the speaker; that it is far 
better to express all the consonant sounds and none of the vowel sounds 
than an equivalent number of both vowel and consonant sounds; that 
it would be a most unwise and prodigal waste of the all too-limited 
stenographic material to assign the most facile, the most rapidly written 
characters, namely, circles, hooks, and loops, to the orthographic expres¬ 
sion of the vowel letters, because it is hopelessly impossible to give writ¬ 
ten expression to the vowel sounds, in all lines of rapid reporting; that 
such assignment of the very best of stenographic characters takes them 
out of constant use, and throws an unbearable burden upon the remain¬ 
ing characters. 

Practically all the findings of the committee were known and long 
have been known to the educated members of the reportorial profession. 
Though no new or startling truths were announced by the committee in 
its published volume, and very slight modifications were made in the 
writing of the standard Pitmanic systems, the report has had the effect of 
making known that the wisdom and experience of the world’s best thought 
and practice has no time for any system of shorthand, no matter how 
apparently popular with the ignorant and the impractical, due to well 
known causes of propaganda, that is not based upon a scientifically con¬ 
structed alphabet.

To meet the endorsement of the Standardization Committee, as well 
as the approval of the entire stenographic profession, the standardized 
system must conform with well established fundamental principles, be 
based upon a geometric alphabet, and be capable of practical application 
in all the higher and more technical phases of rapid and accurate report¬ 
ing without resort to all sorts of arbitrary, illogical, non-etymological, and 
impractical schemes of abbreviation. 

Though the Standardization Committee recognized the serious defect 
of illegibility in Pitmanic shorthand as they sought to standardize it, yet 
the vastly superior speed qualities, and the scientific character of Pitmanic 
writing compared with the best of the non-Pitmanic systems, left no 
other choice of systems, as a working basis. If shorthand writing is ever 
standardized it will be, because it must be, upon a Pitmanic basis. 

Unfortunately the Standardization Committee were unacquainted 
with the recent discovery of the strictly scientific method of abbreviation, 
and its complete application to the Pitmanic alphabet, which has re¬ 
moved from shorthand writing the basic defect of illegibility, materially 
reduced the time required to become a high-class court and convention 
reporter, and added from 10 per cent to 15 per cent to the speed possi¬ 
bilities of shorthand. 

Oflficial records of comparative merits of systems of shorthand are 
made at the annual conventions of the National Shorthand Reporters’ 
Association. 

“The National Shorthand Reporters’ Association, after the contest 
in 1909, standardized the rates of speed and the method of deducting 
for errors, and the results in these contests are now recognized as the 
only authoritative records made in contests open to all writers of all sys¬ 
tems, and not limited to members of a particular organization.” 

The official records show that no writer of any system of shorthand, 
prior to August, 1921, had ever qualified in a speed test dictated at 175 
words per minute for five minutes, with less than THREE YEARS’ 
study and practice; and no amateur had ever qualified in any test above 
150 words per minute. 

Therefore national interest was aroused in . the announcement that 
two writers of the new Scientific Shorthand, just out of the schools of 
Minneapolis, wholly inex])erienced as stenographers, would attend the 
Twentv-second Annual Convention of the National Shorthand Reporters’ 
Association, to be held at Niagara Falls, the week of August 21st, 1921, 
to contest for the World’s Amateur Championship, in the 150 word speed 
test, and also to qualify in the 175 word per minute professional tests, 


6 


CATON SCIENTIFIC SHORTHAND DICTIONARY 


thereby demonstrating that Scientific Shorthand writers can attain a speed 
above 175 words per minute with less than ONE YEAR’S study and 
practice. 


THE AMATEUR OR SYSTEM TEST 
150 Words Per Minute. 

The amateur contest for the world’s championship is, more properly 
speaking, a test of the comparative merits of systems of shorthand repre¬ 
sented from the standpoints of ease of learning and legibility. In such 
contest the publishers of the systems represented, see to it that their repre¬ 
sentatives are the best writers obtainable, and qualified to the highest de¬ 
gree of perfection, under the rules governing the contest. 

The publishers and schools of Pitmanic shorthand, neglected or re¬ 
fused to enter any contestants against the two Scientific Shorthand writers 
from Minneapolis. The publishers of Gregg Shorthand (a non-Pitmanic 
system) entered nine contestants. 

The rules governing amateurs permit the entrance of writers who 
have not previously contested or who are not professional reporters. 

Taking advantage of this broad interpretation of what defines an 
“amateur,” an interpretation which is so greatly to the advantage of any 
old system of nation-wide use for more than thirty years, and having 
more than one million writers from whom to make most careful selection, 
the Gregg Pul)lishing company entered as one of their nine contestants 
a writer of thirteen years’ experience, and another of six years’ experience. 

The pu1)lishers of Scientific Shorthand entered no objection whatever 
against the entrance of the two long experienced Gregg writers knowing 
that the overwhelming superiority of the scientific method would be demon¬ 
strated all the more conclusively in their defeat by the two student writers, 
one of whom had graduated from a Minneaix)lis high school just 
two months previous to the contest, and by the other, who had begun the 
study of Scientific Shorthand only 11 3 ^ months before the contest. 

THE 150 WORD PER MINUTE TEST 

'Fhe system test for the world’s amateur championship was solid 
literary matter dictated for five minutes at the rate of 150 words per 
minute. The contest was easily won by Miss Alice Alengelkock, one of 
the Scientific Shorthand writers, with only FOUR errors in her transcript, 
a world’s record in accuracy for an amateur writer, a record never until 
then surpassed by more than three or four of the world’s most expert 
professional writers.

Within less than three years from the time Scientific Shorthand had 
displaced the Gregg system in tlie high schools of Minneapolis, it had 
brought world-fame and honor, not only to the student-writer, hut also 
to the educational authorities who, heeding the advice of the court re¬ 
porters of Minneapolis, had introduced the system on the publication of 
the first edition of the complete text, in 1918. 

Miss Elnora Diehl, the other Scientic Shorthand representative in 
the contest, qualified with a less perfect rating. Only five of the nine Gregg 
writers were able to qualify in the 150 word test. 

THE SEMI-PROFESSIONAL TEST 

It is a well-known fact that highly talented, scholarly, long and 
thorough^ trained writers of inferior systems of shorthand can qualify, 
and have qualified in a 150 word per minute test. All that is required is 
the memorization and use of a few thousand word-signs, and specially 
devised characters for the most frequently recurring words and phrases, 
and such “trick*’ shorthand writers can enter contests at 150 words per 
minute, qualify, and frequently make creditable transcripts. Out of a 
million or more students, two or three may be found whose genius as 
shorthand writers permits the application of such arbitrary representation 
of words and phrases, even in the highest professional tests. But offi¬ 
cial records disclose that only the exce])tionally talented and the long- 
practiced can employ such device-character representation in any higher 
test than 150 words per minute. A higher speed test was therefore re¬ 
quired to demonstrate the vast superiority of the scientific method of 
giving exact written expression and location to. all the sounds of words 
over the older method of memorized word-sign, arbitrary, and unsys¬ 
tematic representation of words and phrases. Such superior test was 
found in 

THE 175 WORD PER MINUTE TEST 

The 150 word per minute test had eliminated four of the nine Gregg 
writers. Only five were left to contest with the two scientific writers in 
the 175 word test. The Gregg writers made a complete failure. They 
had reached their limit in the 150 word test. The method employed in 
writing above 150 words per minute broke down in the hands of the 
long experienced and thoroughly trained writers, even those of thirteen 
and six years’ experience finding it impossible to represent words by 
arbitraries at the rate of 175 words per minute. 

Both the scientific student-writers passed the 175 word test. Miss 
Alice Mengelkoch turned in a transcript of the 875 words dictated with 
only seven minor errors. She broke all previous records of all profes- 


8 


CATON SCIENTIFIC SHORTPIAND DICTIONARY 


sional writers in the accuracy of her transcript. In fact the professional 
who had come nearest her record had 60 per cent more errors. Her here¬ 
tofore imlieard-of record of accuracy liad demonstrated that Scientific 
Shorthand had removed illegiliility from Pitmanic writing. 

Miss Elnora Diehl ([ualified in this test with 97.6 per cent accuracy. 
She demonstrated that Scientific Shorthand is the most easily mastered 
system, not only for office work, but for all the higher lines of court and 
professional reporting. She had lowered the time required to obtain a 
certificate in the 175 word test from three years’ study and practice to 
only 11^ months. 

Scientific Shorthand, therefore, in its first contest with the old sys¬ 
tems had broken all world’s records in legibility and ease of acquirement. 
One other point of comparative merit remains to be demonstrated to 
prove conclusively that Scientific Shorthand is the completed solution of 
the rapid writing problem, and to demonstrate that a world-wide stand¬ 
ardization can now be effected by the adoption of the system. It yet 
remains to be demonstrated that Scientific Shorthand is the most rapid 
writing system. This must be demonstrated in the professional tests. Such 
proof, however, will be forthcoming in the near future. 

Having thus officially demonstrated the superiority of the scientific 
method compared with the best known and most extensively used non- 
Pitmanic system, the only question remaining for decision is: Shall 
Scientific Pitman Shorthand displace the older Pitmanic shorthand as 
changed or modified by the Standardization Committee. 

The committee sought to evolve shorthand to a higher degree of per¬ 
fection than any author or publisher had been able to accomplish. The 
work of the committee has been a labor of love born of a high apprecia¬ 
tion of the value of standardization of shorthand writing. 

But the committee failed in its most ambitious, most laudable, and 
much to be desired object. No system of shorthand embodying the com¬ 
mittee’s recommendations will ever be published, and if published, would 
fail of adoption in the schools of any English speaking nation. The com¬ 
mittee found one great inherent basic defect in Pitmanic writing, recog¬ 
nized and deplored the defect, but failed utterly to remove it, in fact, 
made no attempt to do so. That defect is illegibility. Illegibility is the 
canker at the heart of Pitmanic writing, as given to the world by Isaac 
Pitman. The Standardization Committee not only failed to overcome or 
remove the defect, but made it all the more apparent—enlarged the defect 
in the severer abbreviation of the bare consonantal representation of words. 

Notwithstanding the excessive speed qualities of Pitmanic writing; 


CATON SCIENTIFIC SHORTHAND DICTIONARY 


9 


notwithstanding the fact that practically all the well-educated and highly 
skilled members of the reportorial profession are Pitmanic writers, and 
that the very few professional writers of non-Pitmanic systems admit 
the superiority of Pitmanic writing; notwithstanding the fact that Pit- 
manic shorthand is the only system that has evolved to greater and con¬ 
stantly greater perfection out of the world’s best thought and practice, 
and become a world-evolved system, instead of representing the thought 
of any individual author (in nearly every case a wholly im])ractical per¬ 
son, but whose copy-right prevents any advanced additions or modifica¬ 
tions of the system by practical writers thereof), the fact remains that 
there never would be a nation-wide acceptance of Pitmanic shorthand, 
much less a world-wide acceptance and standardization, until some plan 
or method has been discovered which removes the defect of illegibility, 
and makes unnecessary the many years of study and training to acquire 
a practical use of the system in the higher lines of verbatim reporting. 

The committee’s consonantal outlines of nearly four thousand words, 
a large majority of which are represented by abbreviated consonant out¬ 
lines, do not give the reader the slightest clue to the positions of the un¬ 
written vowel and diphthong sounds. Such outlines are very illegible 
They are read wholly as memorized forms for words and phrases. The 
same form of outline written in different positions represents different 
words. There is nothing in the use of position, however, that lends the 
slightest aid to legibility. The memorization and word association of the 
four thousand words recommended for standardization imposes an un¬ 
bearable burden (now a wholly uncalled for burden) upon the mmds, 
and time of students. It is the admitted illegibility of such outlines for 
words, short words as well as long words, that has furnished pseudo 
authors of non-Pitmanic shorthand systems with apparent justification 
in turning from geometrical writing in their vain attempts to discover 
some method that would overcome the illegibility inherent in Pitmanic or 
geometric writing. 

It has been said, and wisely said, that all modern non-Pitmanic sys¬ 
tems are protests against the illegibility of Pitmanic writing and the exces¬ 
sive time required to learn the same. 

The Standardization Committee did not remove or even attempt to 
remove the defect of illegibility—a defect that is deemed so serious that 
Pitmanic shorthand has almost disappeared from the schools of America 
in competition with a comparatively worthless system. Therefore we 
have the anomalous condition of seeing an international school of short¬ 
hand thought and practice—a school composed of the world’s greatest 
experts and educators, whose writers fill practically all the high stations 
in the reporting field—slowly but surely giving place to the im])ractical 


10 CATON SCIENTIFIC SHORTHAND DICTIONARY 


work of an impractical author. A noble profession l^rought low by 
merciless mercenary ipropaganda. Today in a large part of America the 
teaching held is occupied by teachers wholly incompetent to engage in 
any line of stenographic work, calling for office working speed with 
accuracy, and their graduates are as incompetent as themselves. Yet they 
have been led to believe they are doing their duty, that they are teaching 
a superior system of writing to the students under their instruction. All 
this sadness, this deplorable condition has resulted as much from the 
one great basic defect in Pitmanic writing, as from the skillfully organized 
and highly hnanced propaganda of the non-Pitmanic publishers. 

'The Scieniih: or Consonant Expression and Vowel Location method 
of abbreviation applied to Pitmanic writing has overcome the one and only 
serious defect in shorthand writing. If the. real educators of America 
and the high-class practitioners of the “winged art” will now unite their 
efforts with ours, a world-wide standardization of Pitmanic writing can 
be realized, the schools of America can be reclaimed, the profession can 
be restored, the teaching and practice of shorthand in our schools can be 
placed upon a scientific basis, and students ]:)e given their inherent right 
to receive scientific instruction in shorthand writing, the same as in other 
subjects of a scientific character. 



CATON SCIENTIFIC SHORTHAND DICTIONARY 11 


CONTRACTIONS 

Scientific Shorthand abl)reviates all words by giving written expres¬ 
sion to the initial long vowel and diphthong sounds and the consonant 
sounds and exact location to the other vowel sounds. Though provision is 
made for exact expression of all vowel sounds, it is seldom necessary or 
even advisable to give exact expression to the vowel sounds, other than 
initial long vowel and diphthong sounds, except in the infrequently heard 
monosyllables composed of a consonant and a vowel, as pie, poe, pew, paw, 
of the p- group; doe, dew, daw, of the d- group, and in short proper nouns, 
as Eck, Ash, Ogg. 

This fundamental method of abbreviating words affords sufficient 
brevity of outlines to meet the requirements of all ordinary uses of short¬ 
hand writing. But the practical experience of the shorthand writing ex¬ 
perts teaches the absolute necessity of more severe abbreviation for a large 
number of the longer, more difficult, more infrequently used words. Such 
required abbreviation is obtained by writing only the primitive form of 
words for many of the derivates, relying on context to determine the 
proper word. Other words are abbreviated by dropping one or more of 
the consonant elements, and because the older systems do not locate vowel 
sounds, all such abbreviated outlines require memorization. Words thus 
abbreviated are termed contractions. Where the vowels are given exact 
locations in contractions, memory is not called upon to play such leading 
part, because the most severe requirements of contracting furnish forth 
outlines that suggest the respective words. 

The author of Scientific Shorthand discovered that the slowest writ¬ 
ten strokes of the geometric alphabet, namely, K, G, and Ou, may be 
omitted in a large number of the longer words, in their medial and final 
syllables, without impairing the legibility of outlines, because the resultant 
outlines do not express and locate the sounds of any other words. Thus, 
dropping the k in production results in produshun, which is not the outline 
of any other word. Dropping the k in predication results in prediashun, 
which is not the outline of any other word. This rule applies even in words 
where those consonant elements occur more than once in the same word. 
Thus, dropping the k-l and the k in miscalculation gives mislashun which 
is not the consonant expression of any other word. Dropping both the 
g and the k in stigmatic gives stimati, which is not the outline of any other 
word. Taking advantage of this etymological fact, a large percentage of 
the words of this dictionary have been contracted by eliding the sounds of 
k, g and qn in writing medial and final syllables. 


12 CATON SCIENTIFIC SHORTHAND DICTIONARY 


T and d, in final syllables, may be dropped from a number of the 
longer words, and ts, dz, in such final syllables may be expressed by s-s 
circle only. Thus abhrevia for abbreviate; abbrevias for abbreviates. 

A broad general rule governing contractions is to elide the consonant 
or consonant sounds, the elision of which will give outlines that do not 
fully express other words. Where it is desirable to employ a contracted 
outline that does express and locate all the sounds of some other words of 
the same part of speech, a significant vowel sound should be written into 
the outline of the completely written word. Thus, expectation is expressed 
in contracted form by dropping the sound of k and t. Such contracted out- 
line expresses in full the word expiation. Therefore, the vowel a should 
be written in expiation. The contracted outline for miscalculate is mislay, 
and therefore, the vowel a should always be written in mislay. 

In general, the outlines of the words of this dictionary conform with 
the recommendations of the Standardization Committee as to the choice of 
consonants elided in contractions, except where the superior character of 
the system permits a briefer, more facile, more legible, and more rapidly 
written outline. However, where identical consonants are expressed for 
words, the Scientific Shorthand outlines give exact locations to all the 
vowel sounds orthographically related to the written outlines, and the 
“standardized’’ outlines do not give the slightest clue to the exact locations 
of any of the unwritten vowel sounds. Therefore, the Scientific Shorthand 
outlines are from fifty per cent to as much as one hundred per cent more 
legible than the outlines recommended by the Standardization Committee. 

Scientific Shorthand has overcome “Positional Retardation” of the 
older Pitmanic systems, through a strictly scientific, vowel locational use 
of position. Scientific Shorthand has overcome “Illegibility Retardation” 
of the older system, through exact written expression of initial long vowel 
and diphthong sounds and exact location of all other vowel sounds. Scien- 
. tific Shorthand has overcome “Phrasing Retardation” of the older systems, 
by subjecting phrase writing to a single rule that permits medial and final 
phrasing or joining of second position words but requires the phrase to 
end at any word that begins with a vowel sound. 

Scientific Shorthand will be found not only the most easily acquired 
system, but time will as conclusively prove, officially, that from ten per 
cent to as much as fifteen per cent has been added to the speed of short¬ 
hand writers because of the elimination of the three sourcs of retardation 
above stated and the fundamentally briefer and more facile outlines of the 
system.
